Hi all I've got a Macbook Pro running Leopard and am installing Gentoo Prefix on it. When i read the doc about a case-sensitive file system is assumed, I checked and found that my file system is case-insensitive. I googled and found it is time-consume to convert the file system (backup the whole system, reformat, reinstall os and restore the backup). So here I have two questions:
1. If I don't convert, how many/what packages would break? If they are not essential and I don't need them, I would rather live with the current file system. 2. Can I re-partition my hard driver and create a case sensitive volume without reformat the whole disk? I know Disk Utility can shrink the partition and create a new one in the free space, but I failed to find out how to specify the new partition as a case-sensitive one.
